Sterile vs. Non sterile predator induction

[wormandbobber]

Introducing sterile tiger musky is only different from introducing fertile brook trout in that one can reproduce and one cannot. From a fisheries management standpoint, the sterile non-native stocking is often better because of the ability to control population density with stocking. Stocking nonnatives that are fertile into environs where reproduction and recruitment are not possible can also be good but it is not always known prior to stocking whether reproduction is possible or not.
